MOURN IV

Depictions in media often form the basis of a lot of stereotypes. The image sequences consumed during the formative years can be visceral in nature - with ideologies indoctrinated via picture and sound. Through the years of sourcing stock images for subjects, often finding there were almost half the results for “Man crying” than “Woman crying”. ‘MOURN’ is a counter to this experience. Adding fragility and serenity, absent from the source.
